I need to check in the image file, image@2x.png in Mac. When I try to use the command,

$ svn commit -m "another new file" image\@2x.png

it doesn't work.

I then tried using single quote around the file name as suggested in some other answers

$ svn commit -m "another new file" 'image\@2x.png'

That also doesn't seem to work.

Removing the backslash before the @ also doesn't seem to work.

$ svn commit -m "another new file" 'image@2x.png'

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

According to this SO answer and to the SVN book you need to add another @ symbol to the end of the file:

svn commit -m "another new file" image@2x.png@

Give it a try and let us know if that works :D

    To elaborate: It’s because svn interprets the first “@”. Adding a trailing one causes it to treat the first one literally. An alternative is to replace the “@” with “?” or “*”, assuming you don’t have more than one file that matches that pattern. – Chris Page Feb 08 '12 at 10:30
